Hvassast / Hallgerður Hallgrímsdóttir
Hvassast explores the beauty of the Icelandic everyday through a collection of eternal moments, non-erupting mountains, indecipherable weather and groundhog days. Made-up realities are the photographer’s playground, the photograph being not an answer, but a proposal. This is an attempt to show the unremembered stillness of a place, its textures, poetic reality and the fragmented dreams of the people who inhabit it.
